Update on my theft deterrent strategy. There are a lot of great tools available, and I know some use 6-8 layers, but for me I wanted a compromise that reduces the time and hassle to park and start my car. I am using 4 layers of defense

1. I have a very easy to use steering wheel lock that loops through the steering wheel and locks into the seat belt receptacle. Easy to install and remove. Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Steering-Secu...Y2hfYXRm&psc=1

2. Mobilistics starter relay. Works great. I bought an extra remote for the second set of key's. I also took pics of the OEM relay, and printed images on some bumper sticker paper and I mocked up the Mobilistics unit to look OEM. That way if the thief even thinks to check under that hood, it should pass as stock. First pic is the sticker on the mobilistics relay. That sticks out like a sore thumb. Next two are the restickered relay

3. LoJack

4. I tossed an airtag in my glovebox to make it easy for thieves to find. I want them to think they disabled all the tracking devices.

This should slow them down, and if they defeat all the mechanical barriers, LoJack is tracking the car.
